"If the two of you still feel worried, I'll immediately leave the Sword Spirit City without causing any
trouble. To be honest, although I've only been in the Sword Spirit City for a few months, I already
learned a lot. That's how I made so much progress so quickly! Even if I leave the Sword Spirit City now,
I'll still remember that you gave me the chance to cultivate here. Given the chance in the future, I will
definitely repay the Sword Spirit City..." Rocky took the opportunity and made sure to carefully choose
his words to touch the hearts of Timothy and Harrison.
"Young man, there's no need for that! We aren't unreasonable people. If you're saying the truth, we can
come to an understanding. However, it's the first time that we have faced a situation like this in our
Sword Spirit City, and it's also rare to see a talented young man like you. Apart from some minor things,
you did progress so quickly in such a short period of time that it's only fitting to describe you as a
genius, but that's also the same reason that we have to be suspicious of you. After all, many
coincidences invite suspicion. Of course, I'll keep in mind that you risked your life to protect Hannah.
So, why don't you step out for a bit? I'll discuss this with Harrison and then we'll tell you our decision."
Timothy gave him a kind smile.
"I understand." Rocky nodded and cupped his hands towards the two of them before leaving.
As soon as he walked out of the Arcane Sword Hall, he saw Tessa and Ramon standing right at the
door. The frazzled Tessa quickly homed in on him.
"Are you okay?" she nervously asked as soon as she saw Rocky exit. From the moment Hannah took
him away, Tessa realized that Rocky must be in trouble.
"Hard to say. It all comes down on the decision Master Timothy and Master Harrison make. There's a
chance I'll have to leave the Sword Spirit Sect soon," Rocky replied, a weak smile on his face.
"Leave? No way! I'll go inside and reason with them immediately. You didn't do anything wrong. Why
would you have to leave?" Tessa immediately became upset, since her trust in Rocky was absolute.
Even though Rocky kept secrets from her in the past, she completely believed that he was definitely a
good person.
"I know you want to help me, but there's no need for you to do that. I believe that Master Timothy will
definitely make a rational decision," Rocky assured her with a casual wave of his hand.
"But if you just leave like this, who will help me train Nightshade..." A pout appeared on Tessa's lips.
"Nightshade recently made a lot of progress. You can train it in the future by yourself. I'll give you the
training method," Rocky reassured her.
At the same time, Timothy and Harrison continued their discussion in the Arcane Sword Hall. They
found it difficult to come to a decision.
If Rocky hadn't managed to break through to the King Realm in today's battle, they wouldn't even
hesitate in kicking him out of the Sword Spirit Sect. Their suspicion regarding Rocky's background still
gnawed on them. However, Rocky reached the King Realm and showed various extraordinary skills,
and it made them feel that it would be a pity if they abandoned him.
Everyone knew that the amount of manpower and material resources a clan or a sect needed to train a
warrior to be a master at the King Realm was unimaginable. Moreover, it was even rarer to see
someone like Rocky who was obviously outstanding in the aspect of beast taming. Although the Sword
Spirit Sect specialized in swordsmanship, they also paid great attention to the cultivation of other skills.
However, they still failed to cultivate any extraordinary talents. Yet Rocky, a supernormal talent, came
to their sect. Rocky was considered a supernormal talent because he could do many things that could
not be explained by common sense. That included his spiritual aura that even Timothy and Harrison
couldn't detect, the magical beast transformation skill, and his talent in both beast taming and beast
curing. If the Sword Spirit Sect gave up on such a talent, other sects and clans would surely snap him
up and invite him to join them. Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit Sect would lose a powerful disciple.
However, Timothy and Harrison had to carefully consider if there was any truth in Rocky's words or
whether he had other intentions. If Rocky did anything harmful to them after they agreed to let him stay,
then it would also cause them great damage.
"Master Timothy, I leave this up to you!" Harrison found it difficult to make a choice, so he left it to
Timothy to make the call.
"If Basil continues to stay in our sect, he'll probably be a double-edged sword. It's hard to tell at the
moment whether he'll be good or bad for our sect. However, I'm more interested in his beast
transformation skill. If the disciples or masters who have spiritual beasts can learn this skill, it may help
our sect become more powerful and we can cause a sensation overnight!" Since Timothy was the
leader of the Sword Spirit Sect, he naturally took the sect's interests into account. Although he was still
suspicious of Rocky's motives, from the perspective of what they could gain, Rocky's value was far
greater than he could imagine if he was properly used. That could also serve as Rocky's contribution to
the Sword Spirit Sect.
"So your decision is to keep him, right?" Harrison clarified.
"Yes. But you have to send someone to keep a close eye on him and then directly report their findings
to me. You should observe him for three months. If he doesn't do anything suspicious within three
months, then he really doesn't have any other intentions and we don't need to worry about him
anymore," Timothy decided after giving it some thought.
"I understand." Harrison nodded and then shouted, "Basil, come back in!"
When Rocky heard Harrison's voice coming from the hall, he turned to Tessa and said, "I'll go in now."
After bidding his goodbye, he walked back into the Arcane Sword Hall.
"Basil, you hid your strength while you stayed in the Sword Spirit City. Logically speaking, we should be
cautious and let you leave the Sword Spirit Sect. However, since you're already at the King Realm and
have a remarkable talent, not to mention you have also saved Hannah, I decide to let you stay in our
sect. But we would also require something from you..." Timothy trailed off.
"Please go ahead!" Rocky nodded in understanding.
"I hope you can teach the Sword Spirit Sect's disciples the beast transformation skill," Timothy finally
declared.
"Of course, I have no problem with that. However, not everyone can learn the skill. Those who want to
learn it must have enough aptitude, or else they will easily go astray," Rocky explained.
"You can take your pick out of the disciples from our Sword Spirit Sect or even the masters at the King
Realm and find who are talented enough. Afterwards, you can teach them," Timothy immediately
suggested.
"I'm just afraid that I can't teach them well. But I think Miss Tessa can learn it. First of all, her
Nightshade is a good spiritual beast, and secondly, I'm already familiar with her. Let me teach her first.
If she can successfully master the skill, I'll find the confidence to teach others as well." Of course,
Rocky would not easily teach the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill to just anyone. If he was given
the choice to teach someone, he would only impart the skill to Tessa.
"Tessa?" Harrison's eyes narrowed when he heard those words. His obvious worry was palpable even
if he tried to hide it.
"Don't worry. Although learning this skill is risky, I can guarantee that Tessa won't be in any danger.
Moreover, if she can learn it, it'll be of great help to her cultivation in the future," Rocky coaxed since he
immediately realized what was going through Harrison's mind.
"Well..." Harrison hesitated.
"Harrison, just let Tessa learn the skill from him. With her talent, she should be able to master it,"
Timothy said.
